Abstract
In this work, we present the modification of a medical-grade silicone catheter with the N-vinylimidazole monomer using the grafting-from method at room temperature and induced by gamma rays. The catheters were modified by varying the monomer concentration (20-100 vol%) and the irradiation dose (20-100 kGy). Unlike the pristine material, the grafted poly(N-vinylimidazole) chains provided the catheter with hydrophilicity and pH response. This change allowed for the functionalization of the catheters to endow it with antimicrobial features. Thus, the quaternization of amines with iodomethane and bromoethane was performed, as well as the immobilization of silver and ampicillin. The inhibitory capacity of these materials, functionalized with antimicrobial agents, was challenged against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus strains, showing variable results, where loaded ampicillin was amply better at eliminating bacteria.

Abstract
Ionic liquid (IL) cationic species have recently captivated the attention of pharmacists, biochemists, and biomedical scientists as promising antibacterial agents to deal with the multidrug resistance bacteria crisis. The structure and functional groups of ILs influence their physiochemical properties and biological activities. However, a comprehensive study is required to fully understand the details of the antibacterial activity of ILs carrying various functional groups. Herein, dicationic ILs (DCILs) are reported based on imidazolium rings as efficient antibacterial agents. The DCILs carried various functionalities such as 2-hydroxybutyl (DCIL-1), 2-hydroxy-3-isopropoxypropyl (DCIL-2), 2-hydroxy-3-(methacryloyloxy)propyl (DCIL-3), 2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl (DCIL-4), and 2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropyl (DCIL-5). The structure-antibacterial activity relationships of the DCILs against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were comprehensively studied through antibacterial tests, morphology analysis, and adhesion tests. The experimental assays revealed an antibacterial efficacy order of DCIL-5 > DCIL-1 > DCIL-4 > DCIL-2 > DCIL-3. The all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulation showed a deep permeation of the hydrophobic -OPh functional group of DCIL-5 through the E. coli membrane model in agreement with the experimental observations. Current findings assist scientists in designing new task-specific DCILs for effective interactions with biological membranes for different applications.

Dual anticancer and antibacterial activity of fluorescent naphthoimidazolium salts. RSC Adv 2023; 13:36430-36438.

Abstract
Cancer has emerged as a significant global health challenge, ranking as the second leading cause of death worldwide. Moreover, cancer patients frequently experience compromised immune systems, rendering them susceptible to bacterial infections. Combining anticancer and antibacterial properties in a single drug could lead to improved overall treatment outcomes and patient well-being. In this context, the present study focused on a series of hydrophilic naphthoimidazolium salts with donor groups (NI-R), aiming to create dual-functional agents with antibacterial and anticancer activities. Among these compounds, NI-TPA demonstrated notable antibacterial activity, particularly against drug-resistant bacteria, with MIC value of 7.8 μg mL-1. Furthermore, NI-TPA exhibited the most potent cytotoxicity against four different cancer cell lines, with an IC50 range of 0.67-2.01 μg mL-1. The observed high cytotoxicity of NI-TPA agreed with molecular docking and dynamic simulation studies targeting c-Met kinase protein. Additionally, NI-TPA stood out as the most promising candidate for two-photo excitation, fluorescence bioimaging, and localization in lysosomes. The study findings open new avenues for the design and development of imidazolium salts that could be employed in phototheranostic applications for cancer treatment and bacterial infections.

Abstract
We have prepared novel potent breast cancer drug molecules from non-toxic and inexpensive method. Column chromatography is not necessary for purification of target molecules. The value of overall atom economy, environmental factor, environmental catalyst and product mass intensity gives additional merits for this synthetic method. Synthesized flexible dimeric imidazolium bromides showed less toxicity and gives excellent anticancer response against normal mammary epithelial cells. Novel dimeric pyridinium bromides showed excellent anticancer response against tested cancer cell lines. In cell cycle, novel flexible dimeric pyridinium bromides showed significant arrest in the G2/M phase by nearly three folds, when compared with control drug. We have studied the targeting epidermal growth factor receptor for all the synthesized flexible amino substituted and methyl substituted dimeric pyridinium bromides.

Abstract
Flexible dimeric substituted pyridinium bromides with primary and tertiary amines are prepared by conventional and solvent-free methods. The formation of compounds 2 and 4 is much easier than that of compounds 1 and 3 because of the benzyl carbon which is more electropositive than the primary alkyl carbon. The newly synthesized dimeric pyridinium compounds are optimized using DFT and B3LYP 6-31 g(d,p). The in vitro antiproliferative activity is studied in lung (A549) and breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB 231). Among the four compounds, 1,1'-(1,3-phenylene bis(methylene)bis 2-aminopyridinium bromide 4 showed potent anticancer activity when compared to the standard drug 5-fluorouracil. 1,1'-(1,3-Phenylene bis(methylene)bis 2-aminopyridinium bromide 4 is not toxic to normal cell lines 3T3-L1 and MRC-5 cell lines. Also, 1,1'-(1,3-phenylene bis(methylene)bis 2-aminopyridinium bromide 4-induced apoptosis in cancer cell lines is examined using AO/EB and Hoechst staining, which is further supported by cell cycle analysis. Western blot analysis showed that 1,1'-(1,3-phenylene bis(methylene)bis 2-aminopyridinium bromide 4 induces apoptosis through the extrinsic apoptotic pathway by upregulating caspase 3 and caspase 9. This compound also downregulates intrinsic apoptotic proteins, including Bcl-2, Bcl-x, and Bad. From the present study results, it is confirmed that 1,1'-(1,3-phenylene bis(methylene)bis 2-aminopyridinium bromide 4 has potent anticancer activity when compared to other compounds.

Abstract
Substituted pyridinium bromides are prepared by conventional and solvent-free greener methods. The solvent-free solid-phase (greener) method is superior to the conventional method because of its nontoxic nature, simple reaction setup procedure, and twenty times less time consumption. Column chromatography and toxic organic solvents are avoided. Substituted pyridinium salts 1-2(a-c) show excellent catalytic response in the preparation of β-amino carbonyl derivatives using the conventional approach. Pharmacokinetics is very important in target validation and in shifting a lead compound into a drug. The physicochemical properties discussed here can be used effectively in the drug designing candidate, which is a cumbersome process in clinical research. In addition, molecular simulations are demonstrated, and compounds 1-2(a-c) possess the most potent VEGFR-2 kinase protein inhibitory activities, and most interestingly, compound 2a strongly binds and regulates the VEGFR-2 kinase activity in therapeutic approaches and cancer prevention.
